Service business struggles to manage growing Instagram DM leads with fast response times and a simple CRM for follow-ups, quotes, and job tracking without expensive or manual workarounds.

Existing automation tools like Zapier/Make are too complex to set up and maintain for non-technical small business owners, and purpose-built CRMs are either too expensive or lack Instagram DM integration.
